Hello Cousins, Thank you Ray for introducing me to the list. I wanted to introduce myself before now but with Rootsweb's server upgrades, and the unforeseeable problems that have occurred with the upgrade, I've been back logged with bounces from this list and others I admin. One point I want to address with this upgrade is the way the mail has been coming to the lists. The influx of mail has varied in several ways, it has either trickled or flooded in. If you have an email account with Hotmail, Yahoo or any other ISP that only allows a small email quota, the trickling mail has not caused a problem. It is the heavy flow that hits several lists a one time that is causing bounces. So I encourage everyone with a limited mail box size to keep them emptied as much as possible to avoid from being automatically removed from the list because of excessive bounces. If you find that you have been removed from the list please re-subscribe by sending an email to HADLEY-L-request@rootsweb.com -or- HADLEY-D-request@rootsweb.com with only the word SUBSCRIBE in the subject line and in the body of the email. Thanks to everyone for being patient with Rootsweb's upgrade, and please don't get upset if you are unsubscribed from the list due to the upgrade or bounces. Just join us again by re-subscribing. I hope we all have much success in finding our ancestors. Happy hunting!
